Hi N2fun. Sorry you're hurting so much. I have a friend who wrenched her low back, consisting of a bulging disc on MRI. She was crying with pain, couldn't walk and would crawl up stairs and spend most of the time in bed. This kind of pain lasted for 3 weeks and then slowly began to improve. She then began to do PT and has been doing treadmill, swimming and walking in the pool since that time. She now has NO low back pain. She knows she has to be careful in regards to lifting heavy things, etc., but she does this and keeps her back strong with these exercises and is in good shape. Hope the same will be true for you. I would venture to say that most people improve - I've known many people with back problems that resolve over time - unfortunately, it can take much longer than we'd like.
